Baby's dark green sludge stool

The baby's feces are dark green and muddy, which mainly happens when the baby is just born. At this time, the bile and amniotic fluid are mixed together, which will cause the stool to be dark green in color. However, after 12 hours of defecation, the baby's feces will return to normal and turn yellow. If the baby's stool is always dark green and sludge-like, we should take the child for a check-up. It may be caused by indigestion and failure to convert bilirubin.

Baby's green stools are generally caused by the following reasons. Mothers should pay attention to comparison, determine what causes the baby to have green stools, and prescribe the right medicine to choose a treatment method suitable for the baby. What is the reason for the baby's green stool? The reasons are:

1. Babies may spit up milk or have green stools if they catch a cold or have indigestion. If there is a bacterial infection, active treatment is required. If the test results are normal, the baby may have indigestion or a cold abdomen.

2. When the baby is not full, the baby's gastrointestinal motility is too fast due to hunger, so the bilirubin in the intestines has not been converted yet and is excreted from the stool, making the stool green and watery.

3. During the digestion process of fat, less bile is consumed, and the excess bile is excreted in the stool, making the stool green. If the mother thinks that the baby eats a lot, it means that he has indigestion, and she can give the baby some probiotics.

4. If a baby who eats iron-containing milk powder cannot fully absorb the iron in the milk powder, his stool will be yellow-green, the white particles in the stool will be larger, and will be more likely to have a foul odor.

5. When babies first start eating vegetable puree, they often excrete a small amount of green vegetable puree in their stool. Some mothers often think that this is indigestion and stop adding vegetable puree. In fact, this phenomenon is common when healthy babies change their food.
